Installing Retro pc games

[Preacher]

I have been hankering to play the original sega rally since my sega Saturn broke. I have looked in eBay and you can buy it for a couple of quid!

I'm running win8 64bit and not sure if this will install?

If not could I install a virtual windows xp 32bit and would it run in there? Or is there another way to play old games??

Was thinking of a few others I would love to play again but that's prob a whole new thread!

Can you emulate an old PC?

Well, DOSBox.

Depends on how old. Dox games then DOSBox as snootyjim says. For Windows games then an XP virtual machine is probably the best option.

Saying that, if you can get enough drivers then a cheap mini-itx board with embedded processor or a second hand netbook/top if you want to go the whole hog and have a separate PC...

I used to have an old 486 that I kept for all my Origin classics.. those were the days

That said, the GOG versions seem to work pretty well on my modern day gaming rig

Project64 is pretty good. can set it up with xbox controllers (4) and do mariokart and super smash party play. Great Uni Predrinking games!
